Jack Picone is a renowned photojournalist and documentary photographer, currently based in Bangkok. During the 1990’s he covered eight wars, including in Iraq, Rwanda, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Armenia and the Sudan, and has over 20 years experience working in many other dangerous places including Liberia, Sierra Leone, Palestine and Soviet Central Asia.

Picone’s particular interest is not only to report on day-to-day events but to explore the deeper social issues underlying his reportage stories. He has spent the past decade documenting the pandemic of HIV/AIDS, and his approach is characterized by a non-intrusive and unhurried approach with his subjects.
